Back? Nah. You lack common sense if you believe hitting someone with a blocker does not inherently come with an intent to injure. Lacking common sense is the definition of stupid. It's just another very accurate descriptor of someone with your asinine beliefs.

I haven't put an argument that you like, there's a difference. He literally did what the rule book says not to do.

A delusion is a belief that is held with strong conviction despite superior evidence to the contrary

You still have a strong conviction that Price doesn't deserve a match penalty, when superior evidence (the rule book) contradicts you. You are, by definition, delusional. That's not name-calling, that's an accurate and factual description of you.

What part of Carey's blocker hit was worth of being a piece of shit? The blocker hit on the back shoulder? the blocker hit on the sides? Palmieri chose to turtle, it's his right, that doesn't mean he's going to be left unaccountable for his actions.

You have to be fucking kidding me at this point. I'm completely speechless at how asinine this statement is.

Nobody said "you can't fight". People are saying "you can't be a piece of shit". Intimidation is part of the game, absolutely, but that does not (and should not) include fights where one person is unable to defend themselves.

I wasn't resorting to insults, I was telling you that you're coming off as not very bright because you keep yammering on about this irrelevant point about other punches and their intent to injure. It has nothing to do with this discussion. Literally everyone has been telling you this very same thing and you still won't clue in.

What you're suggesting is that they stop playing offensive hockey. He did intend to crash the net. His legs were taken out from under him by an opposing player.

Consequences for mistakes should not include getting beat on mercilessly by someone is in much more protective equipment, using said equipment to beat one with, and not having a means to protect one's self.

And you're arguing that there was no intent to injure, which is asinine. You don't hit someone repeatedly with a blocker without intending to injure them. This isn't a discussion about fights between two people who drop gloves. This isn't a discussion about why there's a difference between the intent to injure in a regular fight and this. This discussion is 100%, unequivocally, and undisputedly about Price being an asshole. Plain and simple. Quit looking for things to convolute the discussion with. It doesn't make you look very bright.

What kind of rebuttal is that? You're aware that it's possible to be upset that your goalie is out and disprove of beating people with blockers, right? The two aren't mutually exclusive of one another. Grow up.
